They could only branch out That far from 40k's "Maulerfiend"? Really?

Other possible upcoming monsters:

Killermonster
Murderyheti
Assaultgoliath

Well, consider that idea stolen.

No such thing.

Ouch these prices are crazy, even by recent GW standards. £30 for 10 28mm scale plastic models? a single monstrous infantry model for £36? a plastic hero kit for £15? Absolutely mind boggling. I will pick up the army book and cards simply so I've got the latest rules for my army, but if I do add anything to it I'll use ebay or models from a 3rd party manufacturer as I simply cannot afford to buy new GW stuff anymore.

Think of it as a dare. . .for something you wanted to do years ago.

If pondering what you spent discretionary funds years ago is an issue, you are not the target market.

Wow... yup all excited till you see the price tag. $50 for a 10 man core unit. Last army to get a new plastic core unit was OnG with the plastic Savage Orcs. $29.
$85 for a two sprue giant monster? Yea, the new CSM flyer was also a two sprue for $74 and that didn't feel like it was worth it. This I doubt will either when I pick up the box and feel the weight. Last big monster I liked and felt it was worth it was the Ogre Stonehorn kit and that was $57.75.
And $25 for a freaking single character plastic figure? I thought the CSM champion that just came out for $20 was too much. We went from $15 to $25 for plastic characters.

Expect in May the next price hike round to look like this.
All Infantry Kits: $50
All Monstrous Cav Kits: $60
All Plastic Characters: $25
All non-Rare Chariots: $40
All rare Monsters and Chariots: $85
All Hard Back Army Books: $50

Well had already to dump my GW stock after the next dividend payment. This synches it.

Yep, after consideration I am going to 3rd party.

A lot of them are as good, and in the terms of large monster a number are better.

Its not like finding the latest rules on the net is a chore either. Nor is it uncommon sight to see people in Australia using photocopied rules.

Since there are 0 official tournies in Australia - what is GW going to do? Pout at us for not using official models?

You guys are echoing what is already being said in my thread about GW's prices over in Discussions.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/497907.page

Yes, threads like this have popped up over the years but they tended to die out fairly quickly. This time things... feel... different. This time it doesn't seem like people just bitchin for the sake of doing so. This time the GW High Price thread seems to have legs. I don't see this being healthy for GW in the long run.

Even so, I do have to admit that I wasn't really expecting them to ratchet up to $85.00 for an (at best) Trygon/Tervigon sized monster so quickly.

The prices are officially insane now. Looks like they are preparing for a general 50% price hike in June.
Only good thing: In WD it will take only 5-6 pages instead of 12 to list all global stockists of GW

Not impressed by the look of these new minis, except the ogres/throgg, but meh, dont play with them anyway so..meh
Only does Vilitch looks 'ok', might pick it up, if i want to gamble, once again, with a foulcast mini >_>

Funny that even a showcase Finecast model has a warped element - check the spear.

That'd be a good call, except for the fact the dude is a plastic kit

Sorry, was looking at the FC troll when I posted this.

Still, a warped spear in a showcase model is not something they should be proud of.

In fact it looks like it's just sculpted that way, rather than normal warpage you'd see in metal or resin, weird.

Wow even those prices made me stop for a second!

Now I am a die hard GW fan have been playing with their minitures for 20 years and loved about 99% of all their stuff.

But these recent prices are making me look at 3rd parties more and more. My wife has just got into Fantasy and the only viable way for her to increase her collection is waiting for Chirstmas and birthdays (good thing she dosnt have that much time to paint lol).

Shall be getting the Book and possibly cards but that's it shall be looking at other companies for angry armored men of the north lol.

Does anybody else think this 30% stealth price increase could be the straw that breaks the camels back for GW? More and more people are just saying, no thank you and walking away from GW stores.

You guys to all know that this is part of a conspiracy to get you all to buy more Forgeworld stuff right?

This is now getting scary. Not that I care for Warriors of Chaos army, but any future armies that are still to be redone might be astronomically out of my price range.

Personally i like the Slaughterbrute, i would love to paint one up. But i think $96 is way over priced, even tho i can afford it i wont be buying it from GW.

Saw the pictures of the models thought wow they look quite cool, was considering a few bits and bobs over the summer but now I've seen the price, I've totally u-turned and have no plan to buy any of it, it's simply too much for me personally

Has come to a point where I think I need to find an alternative miniature company

The Tentaclith Vortexlith looked far better on the blurry pictures. But that may have something to do with that I know the price of it now...

Although it's been said many times.. I don't know what GW is thinking with these prices.

51,- freaking euros for Throgg!?!?

They have to have gone absolutely delirious at GW headquarters!



(I am laughing, but actually it is obviously flat out pathetic)

It's the plastic glue fumes.

Looks like it"s time to move on to historical miniatures. I was interested in getting a squad of Forsaken to convert as mutants for my renegades, but $50 for 10 average looking miniatures is not happening.

for Vilitch I was expecting something more like master blaster, not...whatever the hell that overpriced piece of junk is

This is why i started buying from wayland or other suppliers.

The problem is, however, that buying from discounters is barely even a band-aid for the issue. What is discount pricing now is higher than retail a few years ago. You can rationalize a discount as much as you want, but when the base price keeps going up, that discount still keeps getting more and more expensive.

True,but what is there we can really do?People will say vote with your wallet but i really like a lot of GW stuff.It's really quite annoying when you really can't justify the cost of a lot of these models.I don't show my wife how much a lot of this is as i don't fancy a lecture on spending in the current recession.So like i said "hello wayland/ebay"

Did GW figure out that people are buying everything through the discounters so now they have increased the price to where they get the same amount through them. I know it's worded poorly, but I'm on my not so smart phone.

Example. GW wants to make $10.00 profit off of one box. They have to mark it up $20.00 so that through the discount chain they still get the $10.00 from the discounters, and $30.00 through anyone crazy enough to buy at their store or their site.
